Who inspires you most? What qualities do they possess that inspire you? Those that inspire me most are forever learners, educators, great team players, collaborators and those that put their clients first. Change is constant; therefore, we are stronger together. Teamwork makes dreamwork!

Her achievements and values make her an inspiration.” - Jared Stone, Real Estate Salesperson at Houlihan Lawrence Commercial, The Stone Commercial Team.
